Yes please.


I don't mind clipping.

yes, but they need to bend & flow properly. can't look suitably heroic without a cloak/cape.

What is the difference between a cape and a cloak?
I want a black cape with a hood to look like an assassin.
<=== like this

Yes we need cloak and capes, so we can be one with the shadows.

As long as they bring back the morrowind equipment system were you can wear clothes and armor, Cloaks could (would should) act like skirts did were they go over the top of you body, but you still have your chest piece and under shirt.

Both capes and cloaks are a must IMO.

yes i would like that very much and i would want a hood toggle so you can put it up or down

Go to http://www.havok.com/index.php?page=showcase and look the "roy preview" video, it's a exemple of integration of havok physic for cape.
Bethesda bought havok behaviour, they just need to buy havok cloak now ! :thumbsup:

As long as there is a spiderman outfit I dont care WHAT is in Skyrim.

Sure. Capes are cool. I'll honestly have to file this under dont really care though. Its just not something Im worried about.

Ofcourse not. Capes ruin things.

Edit: Oh, CLOAKS! That's a different story.

I just hope we get cloth physics. It's pretty much a staple in gaming anymore. It's licensing fee is pretty cheap as licensing fees go.

Also, yes to cloaks and also shoulder capes.

Yes, for variety sake.

I think these mighta been confirmed. Im fairly sure capes that move really nicely have been confirmed, just cant remember if cloaks were

I'd like wizard robes that open in the front, so you can see your pants and shirt. More of a longcoat-like garment. The robes in Morrowind and Oblivion always seemed more cultish than wizardly to me.

Lol! Indeed. However in Skyrim I don't expect to see many vortexes, jumbo jets or missiles or intend to do much flying.
Batman and Superman have capes and are both very successful.

Yes I most certainly want cloaks. But would they look alright on all races?

Cloaks are still something I've yet to experience in the elder scrolls and I'm going to be a bit let down if they're not present this time. After looking at some other games with and without cloth physics, I'm really hoping that Skyrim will include physics for clothing. It just looks amazing. As detailed as the environments are looking, static clothing might really stick out.

How would everyone feel if the player character were the only one with cloth physics? I'm not sure that would make it easier or not, because then you'd have one set of clothes on npcs and that same set has physics on the player character. I'd settle for this if not all characters can have it. Here's hoping they do. As Sleign said, in current games it's almost a must (granted, Skyrim is a much bigger game than most).

At one point I really wanted capes, but now...not so much. Why would you need a cape anyway? It's so damn impractical, and it'd probably just get in the way. Think of that scene from The Incredibles where the super hero gets svcked into the engine of an airplane because of their cape. That is why capes are unneeded. Take all the effort that would (potentially) go into capes, and use it on mounted combat or something.

That way we can have bear cavalry. Much cooler than capes, right?

Well, the thread is about cloaks, too. They're very practical! We're in Skyrim! In fact, I'd take cloth physics/cloaks over mounted combat any day.

Absolutely. Capes and cloaks are a staple on the genre, and what with Elder Scrolls slowly drifting a bit from the alien, strangeness inducing feel of Morrowing and the 70s Greyhawke like plains and forests from Oblivion, going into R.E. Howard and Tolkien territory, i find the presence of cloaks and, to a lesser degree, capes, almost fundamental.

One may argue that the fact that the indumentary is present in other works of the genre is not representative of what SHOULD be in an Elder Scrolls game, to which I would reply that regardless of setting, throwing a big, plain piece of cloth on top or oneself, providing another layer of clothing without much compromise of mobility, with or without a hood, seems like a pretty standard logic.

Well, here's the thing.... that poll question doesn't quite work right for me.

From one point of view, it's "I don't care" because clothing in the game is optional, so I could skip them if I didn't like it.


But on the other hand, the question is "Do YOU want cloaks?"..... and I, personally, can't stand them. And so, the correct answer, for me... is No. :shrug:

In Morrowind, you could wear 13 pieces of apparel simultaneously vs oblivion where the max is 7, nearly half that.

I miss hiding my 1 billion gold armor beneath a ratty monk's robe... it made me feel... humble >_>

Hood and cape = two enchantments. Cloak with hood attached = one enchantment.

I'll take the hood and cape combo for this reason.

And yes, it would be nice if they flowed well and didn't look stiff and dorky.

Rocksteady was able to do a very decent cloak in Batman: AA. Cloaks AND capes should definitley be in. I was saying in another thread, a cape like the ones that the Spartans wore in 300! Those were epic. :bowdown:
